St. Louis, Missouri – Police are asking for new information in the 2016 shooting death of Tyrell Thompson.
According to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, Thompson was shot June 9, 2016, during a robbery in the 4500 block of Olive Street in the city’s Central West End area.
Investigators said Thompson was wounded during the incident and later died from his injuries at a hospital. Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect in the case, which remains an unsolved homicide nearly a decade later.
The department renewed its public appeal for information in a recent post highlighting the case as part of its ongoing unsolved homicide investigations. Detectives are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information about the robbery and shooting to come forward.
Police say tips can be shared directly with investigators by calling 314-444-5371 or by emailing HomicideColdCase@SLMPD.org.
Anonymous tips can also be submitted through CrimeStoppers at 866-371-TIPS (8477). Tipsters may be eligible for a reward if the information leads to an arrest.
Unsolved cases like Thompson’s remain a priority for investigators, who periodically revisit older cases in hopes that new witnesses, evidence, or community information can help move investigations forward.
The 4500 block of Olive Street sits in a busy corridor connecting residential areas, businesses, and major commuter routes through central St. Louis, an area frequently traveled by students and young workers.
Anyone with information about Thompson’s death is encouraged to contact authorities.
